The night slowly creeps its dark mask over the lonely land anxiously taking over my mind. Tired and half asleep I sit and attempt to absorb my surroundings. I see the brick wall ahead and attempt to break it down, but it is to powerful. My meek blows only enrage its furry and it becomes even thicker. After a much needed revelation I realize that the key is not to break down the wall but to climb over it. During my journey up that red brick wall I stumbled upon a curious little spider, spinning a web, a web of life. This web was made up of splendid colors ranging from black all the way to the other end of the spectrum, white. Imagine the sky and green grass on a summer?s eve all mixed together in an intricate painting revealing the true monstrosity of human nature. There?s yellow sickness, red pain, orange anger, black hate, and white oblivion all mixed together to form the human soul, of course, that is only the negative. There also was blue friendships, and green growth, tagged along with purple warmth that electrified the web?s devise. Making me realize that there are two ways to look at human nature. One is the path of hate, corruption, and a most certain death. The other is a way of love, and peace, and respect that most certainly provides everlasting life. Now realizing that both paths must be taken is an obvious one. The question truly is; which one are you more content with? And the realization that no matter which path is taken the intricate web of life will still carry on, will still provide life, and take it, and most importantly, will undoubtedly be colored with every shade of the spectrum. That spider and that web still sit at that point, on the same brick wall that sits here today and will still be here tomorrow?in my mind. Good night.

i love the use of colors to describe literally, i especially think that describing the human soul as 'only the negative' is genius
good job with this mix of thoughts!

Thanks guys for the comments. I did like this peice because i wrote it in about 20 minutes one night. And basically it started out as writers block transforming into a crazy fantasy drawn out by my ever so changing mind. haha. Lets hope there will be more lonely nights that will help me write some more tales of human nature and what lies within.
